Here's the top 5 changes I' make to college football.
1. Go back to calling it Division 1 and Division 1-AA. Everyone understood that. Nobody remembers FBS and FCS. I mean Football Bowl Subdivision and Football Championship Subdivision? Come on! Just go back to Division 1 and Division 1-AA.
2. This one's more of a keep the status quo than a change but I agree with Phil Steele and Brother Maynard that the number of teams in the Division 1 Playoffs shall be four. Eight is right out! If you want to crown a true champion - the correct number is four. Anything larger than that is just a money grab.
3. Every Bowl Game should have a money prize pool divided into thirds. The winning bowl team would get two-thirds of the prize money and the losing team one-third all to be divided by all the players. I would also do this for the Army-Navy game which brings in big television bucks.
4. UMass should go back to Division 1-AA. Trying to run with the big boys just isn't working or worth it.
5. Stop calling it "Week Zero" - it's contrived and stupid. Not sure who thought this up but they should go back to soda advertising. I'd be happy if I never heard the phrase "Week Zero" ever again.
